SUMMARY:Author Talk: The Moys of New York and Shanghai (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Born to Chinese immigrant parents\, the Moy siblings grew up in an America that questioned their citizenship and denied their equality. Sophisticated and self-consciously modern\, they challenged limitations and stereotypes in the United States and sought new opportunities in China’s tumultuous republic. Sometimes the risks they took paid off\, but their occasional recklessness also led to infidelity\, divorce\, bankruptcy\, and worse. Those in China faced pressure to collaborate with Japanese occupiers\, making choices that had serious consequences for their siblings in the United States.\n\nCharlotte Brooks’s gripping tale follows the family back and forth across the Pacific and through two world wars\, China’s Nationalist and Communist revolutions\, and the Cold War—events that the siblings and their spouses helped shape. The Moys’ incredible story offers a kaleidoscopic view of an entire generation’s struggle for acceptance and belonging.

By harnessing the collective expertise of Asian American executives\, AABR continues to elevate the influence and visibility of our community across the U.S. business landscape.

AABR 2026 brings together the innovators who are defining these critical frameworks\, moving beyond the algorithm to lead the high-stakes integration of responsible AI across global industry. \nThe Roundtable provides a platform to examine both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with this moment. Join us as we explore how leaders can drive innovation while ensuring ethical implementation\, foster inclusive growth\, and prepare the next generation of leadership in an AI-driven world.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Michael Luo with Qian Julie Wang | Strangers in the Land: Exclusion\, Belonging\, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Author and journalist Michael Luo sits down to discuss his lauded narrative history Strangers in the Land: Exclusion\, Belonging\, and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America with best-selling author and civil rights lawyer Qian Julie Wang. \nThis event will take place in person and online at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on the 7th Floor. \nIn Strangers in the Land\, award-winning journalist Michael Luo tells the story of a people who\, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century\, migrated by the tens of thousands to a distant land they called Gum Shan––Gold Mountain. Americans initially welcomed these Chinese arrivals\, but\, as their numbers grew\, horrific episodes of racial terror erupted on the Pacific coast. Federal lawmakers enacted legislation aimed at excluding Chinese laborers from the country\, the first time the United States barred a people based on their race. The Chinese became the country’s earliest undocu­mented immigrants: hounded\, counted\, suspected\, surveilled. \nIn 1889\, while upholding Chinese exclusion\, Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field characterized them as “strangers in the land.” Only in 1965 did America’s gates swing open to people like Luo’s parents\, immigrants from Taiwan. Today there are more than twenty-two million people of Asian descent in the United States and yet the “stranger” label\, Luo writes\, remains. Drawing on archives from across the country and written with style and sweep\, Strangers in the Land is a revelatory and unforgettable American story. \nTo join the event in person | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins. For free events\, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance\, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time\, and seats may become available at that time.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Extravagant Camp: The Queer Abjection of Asian America (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eng will discuss his newly released book\,  Extravagant Camp: The Queer Abjection of Asian America.He will also be joined in conversation by current CRAASH member and Hunter College student\, Alvi Chowdhury. An audience Q&A and book signing to follow. \nWhat happens when we take the predominantly tragic and heroic narratives of Asian American historical violence and recast them in a queerer\, more irreverent light? Eng contemplates this question by amplifying multiple valences of the term “camp\,” addressing both the camps as biopolitical sites of confinement and the campy as an aesthetic mode of queer expressiveness. The book talk spotlights how campy performances that imaginatively restage canonical scenes of camps throughout Asian American history: Chinese railroad labor\, Japanese American incarceration\, Vietnam War refugee resettlement\, and counterinsurgency camps across US imperial entanglements in the Philippines.

SUMMARY:Mona Tewari in conversation with Chelsea Abdullah for BURN THE SEA
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the release of BURN THE SEA by Mona Tewari\, as she is joined in conversation with Chelsea Abdullah.\n\n\nJoin us for the release of BURN THE SEA by Mona Tewari\, as she is joined in conversation with Chelsea Abdullah. Your ticket includes a signed copy of the book. \n** We kindly ask attendees to please avoid wearing scented products (such as perfumes or colognes) as they can trigger Mona’s chronic illness. ** \nBURN THE SEA : \nA lush historical fantasy that reimagines the Portuguese attacks on South India in the 1500s and the fierce real-life queen’s story\, Burn the Sea is an electrifying exaltation of female power and the value of freedom. \nTo protect her homeland\, one queen must fight her people’s historic enemy—once and for all. \nAbbakka Chowta never expected to be queen. The youngest of Ullal’s two rajkumaris\, Abbakka has spent years in rigorous combat training to become her sister’s blade. But when the monstrous Porcugi attempt to lay claim to Ullal\, Abbakka’s world—and fate—are upended. The Porcugi—giant half-men\, half-snakes who attack from the sea—haven’t been seen in Ullal since their failed invasion more than fifty years ago. But now\, they’re back with vengeance and a choice: pay their tithes or suffer total devastation. Soon\, Abbakka’s definitions of strength\, subterfuge\, and statecraft are put to the test. Will marriage to a neighboring king give her the resources she needs to protect her people . . . or will she watch her homeland be crushed beneath the waves of would-be colonizers? \nABOUT MONA TEWARI: \nMona Tewari lives with her husband\, two daughters\, and dogs in thebeautiful Berkshires of New England. After graduating from Caltechwith degrees in biology and philosophy\, she completed dental school\,residency\, and a master’s degree at UCSF. She joined a fantasticpediatric dental practice where she thought she’d be for a long time\,but life had other plans. \nWhen health issues forced her to stop practicing\, Mona turned to writing fiction. She has long been fascinated by the way that narratives create the lens through which we see our legends and histories and how these views shape our present. Plus\, as the daughter of two immigrants from India\, Mona didn’t see herself much in popular media while growing up\, and she is determined to show her daughters that they belong in every world. \nABOUT CHELSEA ABDULLAH: \nChelsea Abdullah is the award-winning author of The Sandsea Trilogy\, an epic fantasy series that begins with The Stardust Thief. An American-Kuwaiti writer born and raised in Kuwait\, she grew up listening to stories about mysterious desert creatures and wily (only sometimes likable) heroes.Consumed by wanderlust\, she has put down roots in various states. After earning her MA in English at Duquesne University\, she moved to the East Coast\, where she currently lives. When not immersed in her own fictional worlds\, she spends her free time playing video games\, doodling characters\, and hoarding books she doesn’t have the shelf space for.

SUMMARY:CryptoAI Summit 2026: The Singularity is Here?
DESCRIPTION:CryptoAI Summit 2026 is the premier forum exploring the strategic convergence of AI and Blockchain\, organized by Bitpush and China Institute of America. In 2026\, as speculation gives way to utility\, we move beyond the noise to examine the AI revolution. The summit dissects global competition\, the recalibration of market valuations\, and the structural tensions between unprecedented efficiency and the systemic “bubbles” of rapid automation. Simultaneously\, the summit deconstructs the maturing Crypto landscape. We analyze the evolution of institutional market cycles and the definitive shift toward real-world adoption and on-chain financial logic. By bridging these two forces\, the summit investigates whether the union of AI and Crypto is a fundamental necessity for decentralized intelligence or a critical alignment for the next era of global digital infrastructure. \nCI members can receive a complimentary ticket with code CIFREE. Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\nConference Schedule \n\n\n\n14:30\nRegistration & Networking\nConnect with industry pioneers and visionaries to kick off the summit.\n\n\n15:00\nOpening Remarks \n\nMay Liu\, Managing Editor\, Bitpush\n\n\n\n\n15:30\nPanel Discussion #1 AI Is Taking Over——And We’re Letting It \n\nSusan Feng\, Director of Programs\, China Institute of America (moderator)\nDr. Tao Cheng\, Managing Director at Golden Seeds; former executive at BlackRock\, SVB & Ally Financial\nKen Huang\, AI Book Author\, CEO & Chief AI Officer (CAIO) of DistributedApps.ai\nSeamon Chan\, Founding Partner at Palm Drive Capital\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n16:15\nPanel Discussion #2 Web 4.0 (Crypto + AI): Building the Autonomous Future \n\nKathryn Zhao\, Global Head of Electronic Trading\, Cantor Fitzgerald (moderator)\nDavid Hirsch\, Partner at McGuireWoods & Former SEC Enforcement Official\nHan Liu\, Founder and CEO of BitFi\nChad Liang\, Executive Vice President\, BitMart\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n17:00\nPanel Discussion #3 Crypto’s Next Phase: Stablecoins\, On-Chain Markets & New Financial Infrastructure \n\nMay Liu\, Managing Editor\, Bitpush (moderator)\nKelly Ye\, Deputy CIO\, Avenir Group\nChaz\, Founding Engineer\, Solayer\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n18:00\nVIP Afterparty & Networking

SUMMARY:Beyond Borders: Highlighting Immigration Stories
DESCRIPTION:New York City\, a city founded by immigrants\, has been shaped and enriched by generations of newcomers across the five boroughs. Each story of immigration is deeply personal and unique; at the same time\, many immigrants share core experiences of settling in a new place. Finding community\, speaking a second language\, navigating institutions and paperwork\, staying connected to culture—these experiences shape the lives of countless people who call the city home. \nThis event brings together authors Karla Cornejo Villavicencio\, Grace M. Cho\, and Ruben Reyes Jr. in conversation with author and journalist Maria Hinojosa to explore modern stories of immigration. They’ll discuss the connections between their work\, navigating the world of publishing\, and how immigrant stories can speak to our moment.

SUMMARY:Moving Objects: Modes of Conveyance & the Making of Global Asias
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and Pennsylvania State University’s Global Asias Initiative. \nThe Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and Pennsylvania State University’s Global Asias Initiative are pleased to present “Moving Objects: Modes of Conveyance & the Making of Global Asias\,”  a one-day symposium at NYU and a Convergence feature for a special issue of the journal Verge: Studies in Global Asias. “Moving Objects” examines  the varied modes of conveyance and the material infrastructures that facilitate the movements of people\, cultural objects\, and materials\, by which Global Asias come into existence. \nWhat are the objects\, vehicles\, and vessels of migration\, circulation\, and exchange that connect Asians to one another and to others? What are the platforms and material environments through which Global Asias are built? How do cultural and political representations of such moving objects serve to make diasporic passages possible? How are such passages re-routed with the arrival of new modes and technologies of travel and transit? How do moving objects shape the national\, ethnic\, racial\, and religious subjectivities of those who inhabit Global Asias? What cultural and political meanings attach to the objects of movement and the paths they take? \nOnline registration will close at 9:00 a.m. on Friday\, April 24. Guests will also be able to register onsite.  \nSymposium schedule\n9:45 a.m. Registration \n10:00-10:15 a.m. Opening Remarks\n \nCrystal Parikh\, Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\nTina Chen\, Penn State’s Global Asias Initiative \n10:15 a.m.-12:05 p.m. Objects Moving People \nAnel Rakhimzhanova\, “Performing Transit: Mobility and the Spatial Imagination in Central Asia”\nAnn Ngoc Tran\, “Boat Materialities: The Maritime Objects of Vietnam’s Postwar Exodus”\nChristopher Capozzola\, “Trapik\, or\, How Manila Got Hooked on Cars”\nJulia H.
